Just giving him a sense of the demand... Not that it will speed things up in China!
Its the politics and paperwork on both sides. In many cases the cargo is landed and on Canadian soil long before the paperwork allows them to be sold. I know this was the case of a shipment earlier this year with another supplier. The goods were landed for months before the papers got rubber stamped. We have constant posts on CGN about the lengthy time to process PALs and transfers, these guys got it just as bad on the other side of the fence. I'm betting money that the bureaucrats are much less friendly and reasonable for the company bringing in a boat load of guns, than they are to you and I who just want one.
I'm optimistic about whats coming in, but I don't hold my breath. I wait until they are actually here and for sale.

The Type 53 was the Chinese version of the Russian M44, which was a carbine version of the Mosin rifles. There is no current availablity in Canada of any Type 53 versions. Mosin carbines have a wide pricing depending on origin and variant.

I would be interested in one too, even in fair/good condition. As long as it has a folding bayonet and shoots half decent!

any news? Did an angel per chance land on ye?
Not to step on any toes, but the Chinese M44/53 carbines selling in the US came out of Albania not China itself. I contacted the Importer and their "end user certificate" specified that the carbines were not to be sold outside the USA. Hopefully, Marstar can locate a source in China and bring some in for the Canadian Market.

I don't know whether I'd really want one or not now, myself, given the tails of the rough shape they are in. I have a modest mosin collection, and even so there isn't really room in it for something in Fair condition. Not when a nice Russian or Polish example can be had for similar money.
I get it if one is collecting Peoples Army weapons, however

That outfit what Runs Guns to Canada had/has one in nice shape. Was pretty mucho I thought, at the time.
